Beth Lawson, Estate planning Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer for both Elder Law and Estate Planning. I have known Karol Bisbee since 2007. She has assisted me with a number of difficult elder law scenarios. Karol works diligently for her clients and is a big help to fellow attorneys. Her expertise in the field is tremendous. She is well known in her community and is often a speaker on the topic as well as a published author. She takes great care to achieve the goals of her clients. She is a truly a excellent person and attorney to work with.

I have had the privilege of getting to know Karol both through professional associations we both below to as well as through a mutual client. I have found Karol to be very competent, conscientious and caring. I would not hesitate to refer a client to Karol since I know they would be well taken care of!
